Pine is a small town with a population of about 1,900. Shops, restaurants, bars, ice cream shop, & even a hardware store. Plus a Walmart, chain restaurants, etc are in Payson only about 15 minutes away.
Acres of hiking & biking trails, waterfalls, swimming streams, boating, kayaking, fishing, horseback riding, & golf all very nearby.
HOUSE RULES:
1) Leave the cabin CLEAN & as you found it. If kitchen and bathrooms are not clean when you check out you will be charged $100 more (unless you chose Cleaning Package 2). The current $75 fee ONLY covers the cost of washing linens, towels, and remaking all the beds so thoroughly clean up after yourselves. If you know that you don't plan on cleaning, let host know *before you book* to get a slight discount on extra cleaning fee. This is our HOME not a hotel. In order to keep the fees low you ARE required to leave it clean. Respect the house as if it were your very best friend's.
2) Respect the neighbors and wildlife. Sound carries a lot farther here in the woods. That's my nice way of saying NO loud parties or music.
3) Remove shoes at the entrance whenever possible.
4) Garage & locked cabinet in laundry room are off limits.
5) Do NOT cut or put hot pans on counters or tables. There are cutting boards, trivets, and hot pads provided.
6) NO SMOKING INSIDE. If you smoke outside use extreme caution and take ALL evidence with you.
7) There is NO trash service so you will be required to take it ALL with you (including bathroom trash). Aluminum soda/beer cans can be dropped in recycling bins at Ponderosa Market and Pine Elementary school has a paper/cardboard recycling bin. There is a $2/bag pay dumpster at the Texaco in Pine.
8) Do not change TV wiring. Weird that we even need to say that but a past guest did. (?)
9) The trampoline, playground, & fire pit behind my home belong to my neighbor and they've asked me to inform all guests that it's "private property & off limits" even if they appear to be away!
If these rules aren't followed we will place a claim against your security deposit.
• Check-in time is 3PM*. CAN be earlier if arrangements are made PRIOR to your stay.

Winter StormOutlook:
Winter storm conditions are possible in the next 2 to 5 days.

Winter weather conditions are expected to cause significant inconveniences and may be hazardous. When caution is used, these situations should not be life threatening.
Winter StormWatch:

About Owner/Manager

Husband and I are both Phoenix, AZ transplants (him from MI, me from AK) but have both lived here for 20 years so we are officially acclimated. No, that doesn't mean I like 110º weather. It means I won't die in it. I still VERY much prefer our 9 months of awesome over our 3 months of YUCK which is why we recently bought our Pine, AZ cabin. The plan is for it to be our exclusive summer home, but as we all know LIFE (especially with 3 girls) gets in the way of "plans".

Our goal is to provide you with a quiet, trouble free stay. Please do not hesitate to contact us via phone/text with any questions or concerns.

Owner/Manager purchased this house in 2015

Why Owner/Manager chose Arizona

A quiet retreat that feels like a home away from home.

Guestbook comments from the owner

This was my first of many stays using AirBNB and it was an amazing experience. Jennifer's cabin is located a couple blocks off the main drag through Pine, felt secluded, but you could walk to a handful of local eats and shops. Beautiful cabin with plenty of room for the 3 of us, we had an amazing stay. thank you to Jennifer for her copious notes, instructions, and general advice for maximizing the fun or relaxation during the stay.

Convenient, clean and relaxing!

Thank you so much for sharing your home away from home with us. We were very impressed at how clean and well stocked the house was. Jennifer was extremely responsive in all of our communication. We truly enjoyed being able to relax on the hammock outside and listen to the pine trees sway in the wind. We can't wait to come back!

Perfect cabin in Pine!

We brought our family up to Pine for Spring Break and were so excited when we pulled up to this cabin. It's in a great location - convenient to town but on a nice quiet street with easy forest access. The cabin was very clean and well-maintained. It has a great layout with two bedrooms downstairs and the master and kitchen upstairs with a big wrap-around deck. Our kids loved the bunk room and giant double bunk bed! The beds were all comfortable and we had everything we needed for our stay. We loved the deck and swing, the horseshoes, and the fire pit outside. We were able to go to Tonto Natural Bridge, went for a drive on the Mogollon Rim, and hiked the Pine Canyon Trail. Our kids loved the entire trip and it all started with this amazing cabin. We can't wait to come back. It was everything we hoped for and more!

Owner's Response: Sheralee,
Thank you so much for the wonderful review. Thank you for leaving the cabin clean too! Means more than you know. I'm so happy you all enjoyed your stay! We'd love to have you back any time.
Jennifer

Perfect get away!

The house was really nice and clean. It was perfect location and Jennifer was really fast at responding when we had any questions. Would definitely recommend to friends and would stay again! Perfect get away, and the snow was amazing!

Annual cabin trip

We rented this cabin for our annual trip. The cabin is located in the pines and had a very "home" feel to it. The owners were great in making sure we were taken care of. They were very helpful. We have been doing this trip for about 8 years now and they were the most personable and helpful owners we have dealt with. We enjoyed the cabin so much with horseshoes and enjoying the perfect weather and playing cornhole on the deck that we didn't even explore the town. Looking forward to renting this cabin again in the future.

Owner's Response: Thank you for this wonderful review. It really means a lot to us that you enjoyed your stay in our home. Even though we never met, I love it when guests feel like new friends. Your personality shown through too. We would love to have you back any time.
Pine got 18" of snow this weekend and you wouldn't recognize the now winter wonderland.
Happy New Year!
Jennifer

Amazing cabin!

I took my husband up for his birthday weekend, and we absolutely loved it!! It was way more room than we needed, so we can't wait to go back with the kids soon. Perfect quiet spot that's not too far from town.

Great experience!

From the moment we pulled up to our rental we were so excited! The home was beautiful and everything was so convenient for us! The owner was so helpful through the whole process, she even left a binder with answers to every question imaginable, passwords for everything and even menu's for local restaurants! We loved how comfortable we were and how easily the entire process went! We will absolutely be staying again! Love this home!!
